“Life’s full of tough choices, isn’t it?”
-Ursula, the Sea Witch from Disney’s The Little Mermaid

Ursula was so right on with that line.


Especially when it comes to tonight, when there are two art lectures happening at ASU, at the same time.

First, we’ve got guest curator Bobby Silverman at the Ceramics Research Center to discuss the current exhibition “Ceramic Design: Manufactured Brilliance and Beauty in Daily Life” during the show’s opening reception which runs from 6 to 8 p.m. His lecture about the functional and beautiful aspects of ceramic design begins at 7 p.m.

Phoenix, make your New Year’s Resolution Count!

We’re $13,000 away from our End-of-Year campaign goal, with just a few days left! We’re ready to deliver — but we need the resources to do it right. If New Times matters to you, please contribute today to help us expand our current events coverage when it’s needed most.

$30,000


Meanwhile, across the street at the ASU Art Museum, artist William Wylie will discuss his role in the “Forged Power: Ferran Mendoza, Alvaro Sau & William Wylie” exhibition.

Wylie traveled to Carrara, Italy to observe the everyday working practices of the cavatori (stonecutters) who have worked the quarry for centuries. Heavy machinery blends with human gestures, coordinated movement, precise measurements, and communication to accomplish the task at hand. Wylie presents the action with a series of video installations and will discuss the experience.


At 7 p.m., of course.

Decisions, decisions…
